What separates one electric dog fence product from another?
- Effectiveness!
- Quality!
- Features!
- Warranty!
- Cost of ownership!
Discover the differences. DogWatch ® has been manufacturing electric dog fence products since 1990. The original Hidden Fence product was designed and built in Boston, MA USA.
Since then the product has evolved into the quality and warranty leader in the industry globally. When Invisible Fence ® invented the electronic dog containment system in 1973, it had no idea that 4 decades later, there would be well over several million dog fence systems sold. When DogWatch ® developed its FSK FM Digital SafeLink ® software, it redefined the parameters of the industry.
At Hidden Fence, we recognise that the customer has choices. We believe that once you compare the differences, you’ll understand why Hidden Fence is the only brand in Australia that Installs and offers on-site introduction for your pet on the Hidden Fence.

20-Training and Stimulation levels
Subtle enough for the smallest breed, or strong enough for the toughest most robust dog; Hidden Fence receivers are engineered to offer the consumer the most flexibility on the market for SAFELY containing their pet.

With the DogWatch Hidden dog fence, we can find the optimum spot that your dog will respond to, and allow perfect dog containment without issuing anything to severe. We can program your dogs receiver dog fence collar to ensure that your dog ONLY receives what it needs.

The automatically adjustable receiver collar can never understand conditions that are unique to each dog or application.
This is why Dogwatch Hidden Fence receiver collars are the only brand recommended by animal behaviour vets.
